Another cool and sunny morning. It was in the low 40's so we (D and I) took our time warming up.
We ran sub tempo reps on the track. Believe me, it was nothing glorious. 8 x 400 at sub eight pace with a 200 meter walk-jog for recovery. Running 1:56-1:58 reps felt easy and smart. My right calf was tight but didn't bother me during the workout. I just wanted to play it safe.

The weather cooled down and then some. It was in the 30's at the college this morning as I ran 38 minutes and change. Even though I didn't do the workout, I jogged around until Dino and George showed up and warmed down around campus with them.

I walked with Lucy this morning for a half hour and then drove over to WVC for an hour run. Dimitri and I warmed up for 22 minutes and then ran 30 minutes of 100 stride (25 second avg) 100 jog. 10 minute warm down.

I finally got back to running some reps. I was going to wait until Thursday but then found out the weather forecast called for rain and wind so I moved it forward. Tom walked (afib) and Danny I ran for about an hour throwing in 4 x 400 in 1:46-41-40-36. The last two were the easiest.

The weather was moderate. No wind. Thursday is supposed to be a combo wind tunnel and soaker.

I ran a slow shakedown run from the house this morning then drove up to the city with Shel and ran for 50 minutes in Golden Gate Park. Maybe 60 minutes total for the day. We measured off a downhill mile for our respective 70 year old attempts at sub 7 minutes next year. At 60 we both did sub 6.

Low key 30 minute morning run followed later on by a dog walk. So maybe four miles total.
Breakfast after the run was one of the best even though the restaurant was really crowded and noisy. Food and service was good as always. No complaints.

Ran 60 minutes with Danny and Tom. Mid run a woman walking her dog smiles and says "Thank you for your service."

Huh?

I don't get the fact that I'm sporting my USS Carl Vinson cap that another Danny gave me. I never served in the military. I guess with the aviator sunglasses and hat I look like a vet. I tell her that I was 4-F. She looks at me queerly. I am dead to her. She quickly moves on.

Danny said I should have done my John Wayne impersonation. I agree. What a missed opportunity.
